Just my two cents worth. It’s worth flushing through the radiator by using
a hose pipe or some fresh water then refill. Also use a funnel to reduce
spill image.
Great and informative video, thanks for doing it. I was in my car earlier
today and my heaters were blowing cold air? Checked my coolant levels, i
got a leak on a pipe i think. But your video showed me how to top it up. Id
never done it before, usually leave it to my garage…im embaressed now
:)…thanks again.
If the thermostat is damaged it may not be opening. If the thermostat
doesn’t open, then coolant can’t get through to cool the engine. If coolant
can’t circulate, then the engine will overheat. Watch out on the
temperature guage. If it goes into the red, stop the engine, you don’t want
to damage it.
5L should be enough in theory. However I would recomend having at least 6L
as you may spill some and / or want to top up the coolant later on. Best to
have a bit spare just in case and not have to go to shop have way through
the job to get more coolant 🙂

Tank cap off *
Thanks, nice and very informative without “talky sh*…”
Also after coolant change run the car with the expansion tank OFF. air
should just make its way out.

for a volvo i would use a name brand coolant like prestone.. but usually
they are 50/50 mix you can buy it at autozone for around 14 dollars
How do one change the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors on this
Volvo model..mine is 2001
how much coolant do you need? 5L is enough?
a little question if the thermostat is damaged the temperature and the
pressure on the car can raise up?
What about flushing the heater? Protip: Tilt the bottle on the side when
pouring for more control.
Great video however, you are not saying what mix of water and coolant you
added… was it 100% coolant?
can you show to you tube how to fill washer fluid in a 2006 volvo s40
